High quality speech codec employing sines + noise + transients model
Archives of Acoustics, 2014 A method of high quality wideband speech signal representation employing sines+transients+ noise model is presented. The need for a wideband speech coding approach as well as various methods for analysis and synthesis of sines, residual and transient ...

A psychoacoustic "NofM"-type speech coding strategy for cochlear implants [PDF]
, 2005 We describe a new signal processing technique for cochlear implants using a psychoacoustic-masking model. The technique is based on the principle of a so-called "NofM" strategy.

Multi-objective calibration of vertical-axis wind turbine controllers: balancing aero-servo-elastic performance and noise [PDF]
Wind Energy ScienceVertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are considered promising solutions for urban wind energy generation due to their design, low maintenance costs, and reduced noise and visual impact compared to horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs).

Heat pump noise: Determination and modelling of preference-equivalent levels
Acta AcusticaAir-to-water heat pumps are increasingly replacing traditional heating systems because of their environmental and energy benefits. However, noise emitted by their fans and compressors can cause complaints, even when regulatory limits are met.

ERP evidence for the recognition of emotional prosody through simulated cochlear implant strategies
BMC Neuroscience, 2012 Background Emotionally salient information in spoken language can be provided by variations in speech melody (prosody) or by emotional semantics. Emotional prosody is essential to convey feelings through speech.

Auralization of a Supersonic Business Jet Using Advanced Takeoff Procedures [PDF]
Recent NASA studies of a supersonic business jet airplane indicated that advanced takeoff procedures could be used to reduce noise at the lateral sideline location to a level at which Chapter 4 noise certification requirements could be met.

Psychoacoustic Test to Determine Sound Quality Metric Indicators of Rotorcraft Noise Annoyance [PDF]
Noise certification metrics such as Effective Perceived Noise Level and Sound Exposure Level are used to ensure that helicopters meet regulations, but these metrics may not be good indicators of annoyance since noise complaints against helicopters ...

Investigating computational models of perceptual attack time [PDF]
, 2006 The perceptual attack time (PAT) is the compensation for differing attack components of sounds, in the case of seeking a perceptually isochronous presentation of sounds. It has applications in scheduling and is related to, but not necessarily the same as,

Automatic estimation of harmonic tension by distributed representation of chords
, 2017 The buildup and release of a sense of tension is one of the most essential aspects of the process of listening to music. A veridical computational model of perceived musical tension would be an important ingredient for many music informatics applications.
